Joan Collins is standing as an independent socialist in the coming general election. She was elected to Dublin City Council as an Anti-Bin-Tax Councillor. She is determined to present a real alternative to the people of South Central. She is part of and supported by the Community & Workers Action Group (CWAG), and by the Development Action Group (DAG). Also speaking at the launch meeting was Brid Smith of the People Before Profit Alliance, who is standing in the Ballyfermot area of the constituency. We are calling for a Number 1 vote for Joan Collins; and a Number 2 for Brid Smith. The CIL is asking people who want a genuine alternative to get involved in Joan's election campaign. We also call for all socialist and community activists to support and vote for anti-coalition leftwing candidates, including Joan Collins and Seamus Healy TD, the people Before Profit Alliance candidates, the Socialist Party candidates, the ISN candidate and Catherine Conolly in Galway. read full story / add a comment

The full text of the High Court judgment in the O' Cuanachain case was due to be delivered tomorrow 27th April. But they chickened out. Would this by any chance be connected to the forthcoming election? You can bet on it. It would have been interesting to see what form of casuistry they had come up with to justify this callous and discriminatory judgment. read full story / add a comment

DO YOU remember when we voted to give away the €51 billion Corrib gas field to Shell and Statoil? No, well maybe you remember the day we voted to join the Iraq war by allowing US warplanes to re- fuel at Shannon? Or the time we voted to give tax breaks to private hospitals for the rich? It’s amazing how few decisions we are allowed to take. We do get to vote in the very occasional referendum and about a dozen general elections in an average lifetime, and that’s it. read full story / add a comment |
